ABSTRACT
A striking phenomenon in the current state of the art in computer technology is the rapidly growing power of mini-computers. One reason for this power is the ability of small computer systems to adapt to specific uses, making them an attractive and economical alternative to large- or medium-scale general purpose systems for many applications. The provision of micro-programming on many of these systems has much to do with this adaptability, since it permits the efficient design and implementation of a virtual machine suited to the needs of the particular application or intended use of the system. In this way the bare hardware can be molded to support the necessary (and often sophisticated) data and control structures desired.

The design and implementation of Zap: a system for migrating computing environments
OSDI '02: Proceedings of the 5th Symposium on Operating Systems Design and ImplementationWe have created Zap, a novel system for transparent migration of legacy and networked applications. Zap provides a thin virtualization layer on top of the operating system that introduces pods, which are groups of processes that are provided a ...
